1.
Remove the external ground connector’s
screw, and connect the ground wire
(green or unwrapped) of the power cable
to the screw.
CAUTION
• To connect the ground wire to the
neutral position without through
contact A (cabinet ground), contact
a technician. This is not user
serviceable.
• Ring-type terminals are
recommended. If using strap
terminals, make sure they are
tightened.
2.
Loosen or remove the screws from the
center terminal block.
3.
Connect the neutral wire (white or
center wire) and ground wire (white) to
the center screw of the terminal block.
Tighten the screw.
4.
Connect the other wires to the outer
terminal block screws. Tighten the
screws.
5.
Tighten the strain relief screws.
6.
Insert the tab of the terminal block cover
into the rear slot of the dryer. Secure the
cover with a hold-down screw.
WARNING
• All U.S. models are designed for a 3-wire system connection. The dryer frame is
grounded to the neutral conductor at the terminal block. A 4-wire system connection
is required for new or remodeled construction, mobile homes, or if local codes do not
permit grounding through neutral. If you use the 4-wire system, you cannot ground the
dryer frame to the neutral conductor at the terminal block.
• Remove the terminal block cover plate. Insert the power cord with a UL-listed strain
relief through the hole provided in the cabinet near the terminal block.
• A strain relief must be used. Do not loosen the nuts already installed on the terminal
block. Be sure they are tight. Use a 3/8” (1 cm) deep well socket.
